Mount Lebanon, PA Electricity Rates & Electric Choice

Mount Lebanon — Mt. Lebanon to most locals — is a South Hills township known for its tree-lined streets, Washington Road business district, and light-rail "T" stops that connect it to downtown Pittsburgh. Many homes date to the 1920s through the 1950s, and a growing number now have central air retrofits, heat pumps, EV chargers, or rooftop solar. Those upgrades change how much electricity a household uses and when, which makes supply decisions more interesting. In Allegheny County you can generally choose an electric generation supplier (EGS) while your electric distribution company (EDC) delivers power and handles outages. The county territory is Duquesne Light / West Penn Power / Penn Power (split). Rate Raven is a subscription broker/advisor that monitors rates and helps you decide when switching makes sense — not a supplier.

Electric choice in Mount Lebanon (Allegheny County)

Duquesne Light serves much of Allegheny County, including many South Hills communities, while FirstEnergy Pennsylvania's West Penn Power and Penn Power rate districts serve other parts. Retail choice generally applies throughout.

What's distinctive for Mt. Lebanon households:

• Higher or shifting usage raises the stakes. An EV charger or heat pump can add meaningfully to monthly kWh. The same price difference matters more on a bigger bill — in both directions.
• Solar owners: read the fine print. If you net meter, ask how a supplier treats excess generation credits before switching. Terms vary by supplier and aren't always the same as default service.
• Delivery is unchanged. Your EDC still maintains the lines and restores outages.
• Verify by address on your bill or PAPowerSwitch, especially near township borders.

What to check on your Mount Lebanon bill

1. The EDC shown on the bill.
2. Default service vs. EGS, and the supplier if any.
3. The Price to Compare (PTC) for your residential rate class.
4. Contract end date, exit fee, and fixed vs. variable pricing.
5. Renewable content, net metering treatment, or other features that matter to you.

When NOT to switch

• Your contract has an exit fee that erases the gain from a new offer.
• You have solar and the supplier's net-metering terms are unclear or worse than what you have.
• The offer doesn't clearly beat your PTC after fees and term conditions.
• You like the simplicity of default service and it's acceptable to you right now.
• Your address isn't standard IOU service — confirm before shopping.
• You haven't compared apples to apples on term length, variable exposure, and teaser pricing.
